NAVI MUMBAI: The
idea of the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) to come up with
a seven-storey youth hostel on a reasonably big plot in Sector 12 Kharghar is a
great one. This move by MTDC is bound to boost tourism in Maharashtra. It will
take few more months to make this dream a reality. The price of the rooms in
the hostel will be reasonable and affordable to tourists belonging to all economic
categories.
Navi Mumbai consists of many tourist spots and this
attracts people belonging to the city itself and also from other parts of India
and also foreigners. Considering this fact and also to promote tourism MTDC has
come up with the idea of constructing a hostel at Kharghar which is undoubtedly
the most ideal place for the hostel to come up.
The hostel will not provide accommodation to students and
this has disappointed many young outsiders who come to Navi Mumbai to pursue
courses in many colleges in the city. But the MTDC authorities have made it
very clear that this hostel is meant for young people, particularly those who
come from outside Navi Mumbai and who are interested in visiting the tourist
spots to get the idea of culture and traditions of Maharashtra. These spots do
provide a lot of information related to varieties of food, types of music and nature
of dances that exist in the state. There will be no gender discrimination and
the hostel will be open for both men and women. The hostel will also have other
facilities like rooms for one or two occupants, library, gym, conference hall,
cafeteria, restaurant and a meditation centre.
Thus the hostel will be designed to suit all types of
tourists and it will be having all kinds of facilities that a typical tourist
is always on the lookout for. Other issues like rates, rules etc. will be finalized
after the completion of the hostel after which it will be made operational.
